CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

Letting go of something that’s been a big part of your image is the only way to realign yourself with daring ideas and new goals. The coming days may make you aware of the futility of hanging on when everything is pushing you to let go.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

You may now be on first name terms with a belief that might have kept you from living to your full potential. As it becomes clear it’s holding you back, you’ll want to find a way to override it and focus on life-enhancing ideas.

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

With innovative Uranus preparing to move forward in your sector of talk and thought, you’ll be ready to embrace ideas that are alternative or cutting-edge. This could be a form of rebellion against a group you might no longer wish to be associated with.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

Whatever most troubles you Aries, the answer lies in accessing your feelings. There are two decisions you can make: pursue a path away from yourself or listen to your inner wisdom, as this may bring both success and peace.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

With Uranus in your sign getting ready to turn direct, you’re entering a period when the changes you envisaged are now possible. You may feel an urgency, but this is not a time to rush into anything. Focus on options that support your abilities.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

Now is the time to take care of your own needs, especially if your focus has been on others. Issues around power and money may be to the fore, especially in a partnership. Reorganising financial affairs can help restore feeling in control.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

In coming days you’ll need to make it known that although you can endure a lot, you have limits. If you’ve been dancing to another’s tune this is an opportunity to take back your power. You won’t do it by being tough, but by sharing your vulnerable side.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

The Moon in Cancer suggests a need for spiritual renewal. It may be time to take a break of more than a day to reflect deeply and consider your plans. Does your work no longer appeal? You may be ready for something with greater meaning.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

Does it seem that your ability to have fun has dried up? If this is causing you some angst, then diving into new experiences could be a way to resolve this. And linking up with people who are different from your usual crowd might also lead to fresh possibilities.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

Sometimes it’s those who know us well who misjudge our potential, or focus on our shortcomings. This is why it’s important to put yourself out there. Be strong with someone who seems determined to criticise you, especially as you’re ready to soar.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

Key influences are letting you know that it's time to be bold and see the bigger picture. Raise your sights higher and be ready to take on challenges. You’ll need to jettison old ways, but don’t take long as new options are waiting.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

With emancipating Uranus getting ready to push forward in your lifestyle sector, the time may be ripe for changes. Slow and steady is the best way ahead Archer. A gear change is on the cards, so be bold and embrace it fully.
